Does anyone know if it is still around?

I saw the Tropical Kingbird yesterday (Sunday) at around 11:30 am. It was in the top of a small oak tree at the east edge of the parking lot at the Blackwater NWR Visitor Center, literally the first bird I saw when I got there. Lousy cell phone photo attached, along with another photo that shows the elaborate iron gate to the right of the tree, as a landmark. But the bird left that tree while I was there and I don’t know where it went next. I believe that there are several reports from yesterday on eBird which may contain additional hints on locating the bird.

When I left the Visitor's Center parking lot yesterday afternoon, the
Kingbird was sitting on one of the small posts that line the brick
traffic circle, seeing me off and welcoming new arrivals. Meanwhile,
five or so birders were *behind* the Visitor's Center, scratching
their heads and wondering where he'd gone.

Hello all,

December 3rd it was on the power wires just before you turn into the Visitors Center.
